[ Ben knows it might be a bit of a risk, watching this movie that will remind Julie of a happy time before everything went so awfully wrong. He wonders if, in a way, he's lucky. He'd never had a time like that. Things had started wrong, and he hadn't had anything to compare them to. So really, it had taken quite a while for him to realize that better was even an option. Not for Julie, though. She'd had safety and happiness, and then they'd been taken from her.
Still, if it dredges anything up, they'll deal with that when it happens. She wants to watch this movie and Ben is happy to be the one watching with her.
And he finds himself immediately laughing at the cheesiness of the initial scene, the ludicrous appearance of the ghosts themselves as they try to terrorize some children away from an old house. But it is not a mean laughter - just startled, full of enjoyment. Ben doesn't laugh often, but it is a very infectious one. ]
